— by Emaya (Elfi) Dillon My personal connection with Body Electric began twenty-five years ago when my heart and body ached under the weight of fractured relationships with sexuality, partners, and community. By then, I had submitted to talk therapy and studied sexuality from a psychological point of view. I wanted and longed for a […]

When I was a boy I spent most of my time in the summer at my grandparent’s home in southern Colorado, usually in the company of several cousins. There was an old- fashioned root cellar under the house which contained many treasures; among these we found a magnificent sword and scabbard incised with regimental designs, […]

This painting was executed four years ago, in 2013. I had been asked to work up an erotic subject to give honor to a particular non-artistic endeavor of teaching and learning in the sexual domain. In general terms, this is the endeavor to imagine the human body and the “natural order” with it’s full-fledged sexual […]

This painting was inspired by a photograph that was taken during a Lomilomi training that took place two decades ago.  It depicts a particular “lift and fold” move that was once more common in the lomilomi session and is no longer approached except in moments of exceptional immersion in the well-spun flow of the natural […]

Sexual Intelligence for Body, Mind and Heart- reclaiming and celebrating erotic life

Elfi (Emaya) and Gary (Kekoa) Dillon “The original primordial fire of eroticisms is sexuality; it raises the red flame of eroticism, which in turn raises and feeds another flame, tremulous and blue. It is the flame of love and eroticism. The double flame of life.” Octavio Paz, The Double Flame Sexual intelligence is to realize […]

Celebrating the Body Erotic for all Genders

Heartcore Touch

In 1997 a new Bodyelectric workshop was conceived and birthed through Selah Martha and Collin Brown and as an avid fan and facilitator of “Celebrating your body erotic for women” I attended. Five days of “Two Spirits for men and women” as it was known then, radically changed my life. I met my life partner […]

Conscious Sexuality

Heartcore Touch

Written by Elfi Shaw We are born as a result of the sexual union of two people. Sex is a simple gift of life, natural and awesome. Sexual energy is the potent force that brings us into connection with one another in a very basic way and makes us acutely aware that we are living […]

Fragments on Truth

Gary Dillon

Written by Gary Dillon There are many starting points that could be chosen to enter the traditional Hawaiian world of wisdom–governed as always by the sovereign Aloha spirit. I have chosen to begin with a look into the word-concept “oiaio”–the Hawaiian word for truth. To begin with, notice that this word–oiaio–has no consonants in it […]

Opening to Erotic Life

Heartcore Touch

Written by Elfi Shaw and Gary Dillon What does “opening to” something mean? Opening to something means to have a disposition to receive and accept the phenomenon on its own terms. Opening to something means being prepared to bless or praise the phenomenon as worthy, even if it has a shadow side. Opening to something […]
